| Axpona observations People are still reluctant to be at crowded public venues. At least the show happened this year | |
| Who's an artist that you're a fan of but whose name you're not sure how to pronounce? Einajouhani Raatavaura | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience I used to use a laptop-a first edition MacAir- with Audirvana. I eventually switched to the Node2, which is now in a secondary system, then on to other streamers. Audirvana sounded fine, I just wanted the computer out of the system . Streamers ... | |
| Bluesound Node as streamer vs Audirvana - My experience Are you using the latest Node, or an older version? | |
| Axpona 2022 I was going to go, but then had a scratchy throat, did a home test, guess what…confirmed by PCR. It’s a pretty mild case. You all can thank me for testing. At any rate AXPONA refunded my credit card after I showed them the PCR results, which is... | |
| Question about upgrading my SACD player I listen to Classical most of the time and have about 200 SACDs and some Blu Ray Audio and DVD Audios. In my 2 channel system I have a Oppo 105 outputting the DSD layer of the SACDs into a Bryston3 DAC over HDMI. Sony continues to make Blu Ra... | |
| Naim Core music library backup. Help!!!!!!!!!! Not a techno guy, not an idiot. Just for the heck of it, did you try formatting to non Apple? Maybe it’s an Apple-Seagate thing. Also, have tried support for Naim, Seagate, and Apple? | |
| 16 rpm I remember terrorizing my sister with Iron Man, but pretty sure it was 33 and 1/3. At the risk of going OT, what is rationale for special audiophile lps that play at 45 rpm? I listen to digital but I’m always fascinated by vinyl technology. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I wish that I had gotten to hear Arrau live. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I had one Lupu lp that I loved, all Brahms, the Second Rhapsody and some of the late Piano works. I saw him in recital 20 years ago. He seemed uncomfortable in the large Orchestra Hall venue, maybe just a bad afternoon. I purchased a box labele... | |
| Tyro Audiophile with questions Dealers buy and sell goods. Distributors buy and sell goods to and from other businesses.. When your buddy sold you an extra copy of a comic that he had, he is a dealer. If he supplies that comic to others to sell in various locations he is a d... | |
| Turn off or leave on? There was a recent thread on this subject, with no consensus. Fwiw, I had always heard the opposite of what you state, that tubed gear is best left on all the time for SQ, and that it isn’t so important with transistors. I have a tubed pre amp ... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? It is interesting that the threads that get the most participation are ones that deal with free speech. Either someone complains there is too much of it—“I shouldn’t have to read other people that mock me”—or complain that they have been censored... | |
| What the best sound quality in the new 16 channel pre-amp processors? I can’t speak to 16 channels. I am using two Anthem 5.1s in my home because I am impressed with the ARC which I compared with Yamaha and Onkyo -Dirac Live combination | |
| NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues. Seems like another attempt to dislodge aging Boomers from their retirement accounts. One wonders what the looks on the faces of the Band Members would be circa 1965 if they were told that in 55 years their fans , now aged and retired would be pay... |
